I have been on Tnet for about three years and have been amazed at the history that has been dug by fellow members. I just finished what will probably be my last hunt for a good while (two Wheaties and a 58 nickle). Like many others before me on Tnet ,I am being deployed to Iraq but only for 6 months. I try not to complain being I know how easy I am going to have it compaired to the ground pounders that are winning this war. Remember that what you see on the news is only half truths and there is progress being made . The Media to me is fueling the enemies fire and not telling the stories of the heroes on the ground. I am in the AF and will be in side the wire the whole time so complaning is not an option when I will have it good compaired to most of the people over there. Good luck and I hope every one on here digs at least one gold coin ,just leave one for me when I get back.

My brother in law retired from USAF (20 years with last base being Whiteman). We are all supporting you and praying for you. He was over there at least twice. Be safe. Keep your head down and your chin up. We will keep you and the rest of our Armed forces in our prayers until every last foot is on American soil again. We are proud of you for serving your country and defending the freedom that we have come to know. Drop us a line when you can. :icon_salut:
